US Grade Kindergarten - 3
In this 2 part lesson, students will learn and recognize the letters of the alphabet with a fun story, while actively engaging in a scavenger hunt activity during the next week to reinforce their learning. Materials that I will use in the classroom: • Alphabet chart • Fun story that is about a monster learning the alphabet • Scavenger hunt checklist alphabet letters theme • Student can use paper and pencils should they wish Introduction: Class 1: 25 minute lesson. I will be reading a fun story about a monster who is learning a fun way to remember the alphabet. I will be engaging students during the story and asking questions or getting students to draw a letter. After the story, I will be explaining what I request students do for the next few days before our second class the show and tell. Scavenger Hunt: I will explain to students that they will be going on an alphabet scavenger hunt to find objects that start with each letter of the alphabet. Provide each student with a scavenger hunt alphabet checklist, where they will use a pencil to check off each letter when they find an item that begins with that letter. I will give 1 point for each item found. 1 item per letter. So total can be 26 points. The items can be from anywhere, inside the house, outside, gardens, school etc. Get creative. I will model how to use the checklist by finding an object in the classroom that starts with the letter "A" , “B”, and having students learn how to check mark on their checklist when they are searching and hunting. (So students have 1 week to find as many items as possible). Week 2: Scavenger Hunt show and tell: I will ask each student to show me what they found for letter a, b, c, and so on until we finish the alphabet. I will count the points for each student and award them a certificate of completion at the end. This class I allow for 45 minutes to ensure each student gets chance to show their items. :) NOTE: There will be no tolerance for any item in the hunt that is using profanity, bullying, weapons, religion, etc. This is a fun creative activity and we can see all the cool things around the world that kids find and show and tell with the class.

*Note, I do not change class time for daylight saving time on my end, as my time does not change*
Note for my Christmas family holidays, I am not teaching Dec 22 to Jan 5.
Note for another commitment, I am unable to teach on the following days: Feb 6-15, 2025.
My Name is Natalie. I am a Canadian from a small town in Canada, that is lovely during the summer. I love to travel, so after obtaining a TEFL 120 hour certification, I teach online to be able to have flexibility to explore our great world a lot more and meet many international students.
*I have opened auto scheduling so book as you wish* NOTE, I do not work on Mondays or Tuesdays.
I have visited so many countries, and now I am visiting and exploring South Africa with husband (where we can avoid the cold Canadian winters - although snow can be so beautiful to watch, these days I like snow on postcards). I love animals and photography.
Some of the animals I am very lucky to see most often are: zebra, giraffe, nyala, impala, waterbuck, kudu, civets, genets, porcupines at night, leopards, lions, elephants, cheetah, hyena, jackals, mongoose, plated lizards, tortoises to name a few and plenty of birds! Animal paradise I call it! Some even visit during class time, and I can show you if any arrive.
I did a long 10-month backpacking trip through Central America (I even wrote a book about it), which made me realize, that there are so many countries I still need to travel to, explore, and visit. I got to meet so many amazing people. I did a lot of volunteer work along the way as well as house and pet sit which was so fun!
I had a corporate job for 18 years in a large hospital, as an administrator, but in 2018, I decided that I wanted to travel a lot more, thus teaching online was my answer.
I am teaching ESL/English online , as well as other subjects about animals, bugs and creatures, and love teaching children (an even young adults). I want my students to have lots of fun while learning something new. I have taught over 4000 lessons.
Fun fact: I have a twin sister which is also lots of fun! Still to this day, people mix us up.
I can talk endlessly on animals. I love them.
From me, you can learn about animals, bugs, photography, ESL, writing and reading practice, and have fun while learning.
I would love to see you in my class. I have opened auto scheduling so you can find a class that suits your schedule, so book away!
Until then...
Have a great day,
Mrs. Natalie
